Despite feeling good about her audition, she did not expect to be cast.[2] Nicole is a contract role and The Bold and the Beautiful marks Edwards' first daytime soap opera role.[2]
Nicole is the younger sister of established character Maya Avant (Karla Mosley).[2] Edwards said the sisters share a few similarities, but they would "have their differences".[2] She added "I think Nicole is going to bring something pretty cool to the table for everybody."[2]
Nicole turns up at Forrester Creations looking for her older sister, Maya. She later finds her at the house, and explains she is now living in LA and attending UCLA. Weeks later, Nicole returns and asks Maya if she can stay with her, as she has lost her apartment. Maya's partner, Rick Forrester (Jacob Young), tells her she can stay with them, but Maya says Nicole is fine and sees her out. Nicole later returns and Rick invites her to move in, after learning she is staying on a friend's couch. Nicole and Maya talk and attempt to reconcile their differences.
